Neighbor, delivered in the Methodist church
last Wednesday night. lecture on the sub.
ject Of Peace and quite q number Of our
people availed themselves of the privilege OF
hearing this good man preach peace and ad-

Christian charity and brotherly love. No
man ever promulgated better doctrine or
purer morals Mr. Browne is well known to
the older people of our community. and none
name him except to express their love and
confidence in one whose long and useful life
has been years Of consistent and unselfisll la
Dor and love for the good of his fellow man,
and for the advancement OF the Redeemer'S :

his Redeemer, a crown of exceeding great
glory awaits the Jealous advocate Of peace,
the eXemplar Of purity in morals, and the
teacher Of Christian truths.

The Proposed Improvement to the
Court House.

The County Commissioners have received
plans anu specifications for the contemplated
Improvement to the Court House. and 1t Is
earnestly hoped that the contract may be
awarded at an early day. We learn that the
Commissioners expect to have the work done
between this time and the october court, pro-
vided that the sum Isl ,500l now in hand Is
sufficient to pay the cost. The belief now Is
that the improvement will cost larger sum,
in which event the Commissioners will not
award the contract.
The money, or large part Of it, Is now on
hand, and q better time to do the work can
not be had than when the money IS in hand.
Let the improvement be made.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Calves and Their Food.

An Indiana farmer says in the New
York World: "Farmers not unfrequently
complain that they cannot grow calves
economically, and they often sacrifice to
the butcher animals it would pay them
better to keep. Any one of experience
with stock will know before a heifer is
q week old whether it is best TO fatten it
for veal or raise for a good nilch cow.
Each calf should be examined and its
form and marks noted before that time
and its merits decided upon. Then, ifit
is to be kept, eagerness for Immediate
profits and the wish to raise it as cheaply
as possible should not be allowed to lead
one to stint the animal too much in milk.
The pennies saved by such treatment
at this stage of the animals existence
will be counted in dollars lost on it when
mature. All live stock that is worth
growing at all should be kept steadily
gaining with good food and good treat
ment from the very beginning. A plan ]
have practiced with satisfactory results is
to take the calves away from the cow
when three days old. As soon as they
have been taught to drink, give them
four quarts of milk morning and night,
using new milk for a month; then for q
fortnight take one-half new and one-haf
skim, with little meal; then for time
all skim milk and larger amount of meal
at the end of two months give sour milk,
barley, hay, grass, etc."
